The Kingdom of Rosoria is a Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy.
The Monarchy:
The Kingdom of Rosoria has a monarch. Unlike other modern monarchies, the monarchy of Rosoria acts as more than a figurehead. Our monarchs have the responsibility of overseeing parliament and breaking ties if one should occur. The Prime Minister also sits in parliament to advise the monarch on decisions. The rest if the Royal Family don't have the same responsibilities, but rather have the ability to officiate events. The line of succession in Rosoria is somewhat similar to that of other monarchies, but with slight differences. The residing monarch must either die or descend from the throne before another can assume. The monarchy would usually go directly to the first-born child of the former monarch. If the first-born does not wish to assume the throne, it will go down the line of children until it is assumed. If no children assume the throne or the monarch has no children, the Prime Minister may assume the throne.
The Royal Ministries:
The Royal Ministries of Rosoria are incredibly important. They advise the monarch on all means of government and policy. None but the Prime Minister have seats in parliament, so the rest must express their concerns to the monarch to have them represented in parliamentary sessions. Ministers are chosen via the monarch. Should Parliament disagree with a choice, they can vote to have a minister removed. Otherwise, a minister serves until the end of their life or their monarch's reign. The Ministries are as follows:
